How do you incorporate safe work practices?

A workplace safety program includes: Processes, protocols, and guidance put in place to help mitigate risks on-site and reduce injury and illness rates. All employees must be on board to these workplace safety tips to help create a safer work environment.  

When the workforce is on board to create a safe working environment, this will contribute to less injuries and illnesses on-site such as: 

• Increase in efficiency and productivity with less Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) rates and Lost Time Injury (LTI) rates.  

• Reduction in injury and illness costs and insurance claims with less workers injured on the job.  

• Boost in employee morale and less employee turnover with more workers who recognise their safety and well-being is a company priority.  

• A stronger, more resilient safety culture with everyone dedicated and invested in protecting team members and themselves.  

• A better safety record with less injuries and illnesses on-site and more workers protected daily.  

All members of the workforce must report unsafe conditions immediately to superiors to help protect their co-workers and themselves. Once a hazard or risk is identified, follow the proper procedure to inform key players to help mitigate risks quickly and effectively. 

Wear protective equipment

Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is any clothing or equipment a worker uses for protection. It includes equipment such as goggles, ear plugs, safety shoes, hard hats etc. It assigned to keep workers safe and protect them from injury or illness.

Stay up to date with new procedures or protocols 

New procedures, protocols, or even equipment can be introduced to the workplace, so ensure workers are always aware and up to date with these new elements. Proper training and education must be provided to help workers understand what needs to be done to avoid a potential incident. Foster a culture of support and encourage workers to ask questions and speak to their supervisor if they need more help.
